Chapter 847 The One in Charge
Meanwhile, in a deserted area of Concordia, a cloud of spatial distortion opened up above a large volcano, where the spiritual energy of the area was chaotic.
From a distance, this place was scorching as usual, with spiritual energy flowing into the top of the volcano while there was a feeling of tension nearby.
But this was normal for the area, which was why many, even high-level beings, avoided this part of the continent.
However, if you took a closer look at that place on that day, you would see that some of the spiritual pressure in the area was caused by something unusual. It wasn\'t just the typical natural phenomenon in the vicinity.
Something in that spatial cloud was emitting extreme spiritual pulses that could make even that terrible volcano \'hold back.\'
Looking deeper into that dark blue-gray cloud, one would see something hard to expect.
A body!
There was the body of a silver-haired man who looked dead at first glance, but upon closer inspection, he wasn\'t!
One of his eight Soul Bones was glowing brightly while his heart had stopped beating, but his aura, though very weak, was still there.
That was obviously Lothur Ritter, who had been brought to this place by the programming he had left in his Space Watch before following the demons into the previous trap.
Lothur hadn\'t expected to die at the hands of his enemies. But he had foreseen that there was a great possibility that he would suffer at the hands of the demons. So he had acted to ensure that his wounded body would be taken far away to give him a chance to recover and even grow stronger.
Unfortunately, the demons were a few steps ahead of him, and with the system as his enemy, he hadn\'t had a chance to catch up with his enemies!
Lothur had indeed died that day!
But luckily for him, his Space Watch did what it was programmed to do, and his 8th Soul Bone reacted to his situation.
Nirvana was an ability designed for the situation Lothur had faced, something he had ever experienced in a demon he had used his bloodline ability to kill.
If even his powerful bloodline ability couldn\'t wipe that demon from the face of the world, it wouldn\'t be what happened to him that would kill him forever. After his death, the bone reacted to his situation and brought his soul back to the world of the living!
But Lothur\'s situation was delicate. He needed time to recover; if someone attacked him with deadly force in his current circumstances, he would truly die and never have another chance.
As he floated in that spatial cloud, inside that bone in his right arm, Lothur\'s remaining consciousness now faced a dark place that seemed to have no end.
"Is this death?" He muttered to himself, feeling very weak but also extremely disappointed.
Lothur did not consider himself immortal or even invincible. He knew he could die. But he never thought he would die without even being able to fight!
He had been stabbed in the back by someone he never suspected!
In this situation, as he stared into the infinite darkness, he had a great pain in his heart and felt powerless like never before.
"Sigh... Now my family is lost. Viktoria, Elke, Rebecca, and Annaliese will probably die soon." He was sorry, but knowing that they were being held captive, there was no way they could escape the demons.
That irritated him deeply. He didn\'t believe that after death he would go to a nice place where he could be reunited with his loved ones. Death was either the end or a new beginning. Then, his life in Concordia would probably be completely erased, and he would never see his women again.
As he thought about it, he felt anger at himself for not being able to see the wickedness of the system.
\'Damn it!\' He clenched his fists as he closed his eyes, blaming himself. \'How stupid of me! I should have been looking for ways to destroy that parasite! That bastard manipulated me!\'
"Don\'t beat yourself up so much..."
Suddenly, Lothur opened his eyes after hearing a strange voice, something extremely ancient but also powerful.
"What is this voice? Who are you?" He shouted as he noticed a white glow appearing in the darkness.
From this white glow, the figure of a huge old man with white hair, wrinkles on his face, and dressed in a large white robe quickly formed in front of him.
"Lothur Ritter, you are not to blame for anything that has happened. As my chosen one, you had no way of knowing that the damned demons had corrupted my system." The elder opened his eyes and looked at the silver-haired young man in the darkness, seeing much of himself in him.
"Who are you?"
"I am the one who brought you to this world from Earth. My name is Felous, and I\'m in charge of the cultivation world you\'re in right now." He said, startling the young Ritter considerably.
"What?" Lothur opened his mouth, unable to say anything beyond this question.
"I know you\'re shocked and have many questions. Unfortunately, our time is short." The elder said sharply. "The Demon Emperor has just been resurrected in Concordia. If you don\'t return there, this continent will face the greatest disaster in its history, and life on it will be extinguished."
"Then why don\'t you do something about it? If you are strong enough to bring me here from Earth, why don\'t you do something yourself?" Lothur asked.
The old man closed his eyes and realized that he would have to explain something about his origins to this young man. "Alright, I\'ll tell you a little story.
Once upon a time, I was a native of this world, someone who fought and defeated the Demon Emperor along with several allies who unfortunately died in battle. I was the only one to survive that day, but I was also the only one from this world to break through the barriers and reach what you call level 27.
However, I chose to become the protector of this world. That brought me to my current situation, which gave me special powers within this world, Lothur.
With these powers, I predicted that the Demon Emperor would one day rise again, destroy Concordia, and reach my level.
Unfortunately, I cannot fight those who are weaker than me, and when he reaches my level, he will be strong enough to defeat me. Faced with this situation, I used the two Immortal Crystals to distort space and time, bringing lives from other worlds into mine and then giving them to my chosen systems."
"Huh? So there are others besides me?" Lothur was surprised.
"Not exactly. Given the circumstances, I could only bring my chosen ones at a certain time. Otherwise, my plans to stop my old enemy would not work.
When I brought in the first of them, he died in his early years. So, I distorted space and time again for another attempt... In the end, you were the third and final, my last hope.
If my chosen one fails this time, there\'s nothing more I can do. Even my powers have their limits. If you fail, Lothur, all will be lost, and there will be no turning back."
